Harriet Beecher Stowe House, Literary history museum in Hartford, Connecticut
The gray cottage-style building spans 5,000 square feet, featuring a complex roof design with jerkin-headed gable and multiple dormers on Forest Street.
Harriet Beecher Stowe moved into this residence in 1873 after finding her previous Hartford home too expensive to maintain during the post-Civil War period.
The house contains over 6,000 artifacts and 200,000 manuscripts documenting the life of the author who wrote Uncle Tom's Cabin, a novel about slavery.
The museum offers guided tours, with tickets available at the visitor center and includes combination discounts for visits to the neighboring Mark Twain House.
The property maintains Connecticut's largest Merrill Magnolia tree and preserves the original Stowe Dogwood through grafting techniques.
